iamlocksmith keep it up. I can raise my children to new anthem's. Real Roosevelt St.. real Richmond.
iamlocksmith anytime anyone wants to show me some MC that they think is real hip hop that they think is the best that they think is the greatest I always show them Lock. And the conversation ends. I would have to see him go head up with Crooked I for the best MC alive in California before I can give this man Cali. But bro if there's anybody that can contend with the crazy sick bastard with Samurai level talent and skill that is Crooked I it is Locksmith. I don't know if he could come up with material as fast tho
iamlocksmith uk man..... when???
Have you dropped fall dates yet? Hoping to see you in the northeast
Just subscribed to the channel, dude.. I am late but I got my eyes and ears open. I'll catch you in Philly or some shit.. caught you on Back to the Bars and I'm hooked.
You're a killer man. I got nothing but compliments but I don't have adequate enough words.
May the wind be at your back my dude.. and may your craft keep your lights on!! There's no doubt you love what you do. Its dope to see.
Love and respect!
You can see the words ooze out of his soul. Lock is a leader.
Locksmith is too smart for his own good.
Renegade, spat spat. People too stupid to tie their own shoes, can't walk in yours cause they too stupid to move.
Interesting
Then back him up
@@kdotfrees2687 Biggie Smalls. "Who shot ya"
@@AudioPhile 👏
Fire @8:00 ..... "You tell people your dreams, and they tell you some bad news !" Damn.
Dre Hardin ya. lol
Dre Hardin like Kanye said "there'll always be haters that's the way it is, hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids"
Dre Hardin word up
Dre Hardin
yea that hits hard. 👊
Thank you.. That young man was speaking TRUTH
Truth be told. who can f with a person with wisdom riding a track so vicious? Locksmith is a true m.c. hands down
Go listen to K Rhino.
Ever heard of em
@@xbmario387 Ehhhhhh.....
More like both hands up!!!
King Los
I never heard a whack freestyle from this man.... Always fire!
"What you call blasphemy I call necessary growth" (Locksmith 2017). Only a small population who can think for themselves can deeply understand this.
hes spitting what everybody else is scared to say👀
Locksmith will never get old to me🙏🏾straight bars and real talk🔥💯
Walking dictionary and thesaurus. How does he put so many words together that rhyme and not only that... It makes sense.
Not to mention his vocabulary wordplay, and ability to speak about subjects most rappers don't touch. Yeah he's the shit
If you think this is wordplay/vocabulary, check out K Rino. And he raps about things that locksmith won't even touch
@@TooRealForMost Rino dope. But that's all he is, wordplay with wavering content. But he don't delve as deep into topic as much as Lock.
@@TooRealForMost "try too hard"?? FOH...if you're really blind to the fact this dude's words just flow outta his mouth WITHOUT EVEN TRYING...then we can't even be havin this conversation smfh...
Rino is dope, like I said. But truthfully, his swag is a lil too OG for my tastes. He's like a Rakim on steroids if anything. Whereas Lock is kinda like a continuation of Canibus, while settin the bar up for new school rappers.
I can agree this shit between Lock n Rino is simply apples n oranges. To say which emcee is better is ultimately SUBJECTIVE. To each their own.
@@pastense fair enough. Imo Rino is the more complete/versatile Mc. He has that deep thought provoking stuff. Along with the lyrical, metaphor, funny, fictional/non fictional story telling stuff etc. His creativity is 2nd to none. Lock is dope af no doubt. Just not as dimensional
Locksmith is a lyrical fucking genius
I forgot to breath for like 3 minutes. 😲😲
Disaster is the one dislike
OMFG thats funny as shit, made my day thanks man.
To the ones who don't know, locksmith killed disaster in a rap battle, look it up, gain sum knowledge:)
to be exact disaster killed himself by one the hardest chokes in battle history, anybody peep her faces while lock was spitting though? Lol
Mewtwo666 Gnostic she was getting ready to take off her clothing 😂
lmao so true, Disaster is somewhere trying to spit game at some child female. while Lock is making real moves. fall back diz fall back

iamlocksmith Straight fuckin fire...Thanks for keepin true hip hop alive!!! OMG, Got me feelin like i can conquer the world after listening to this fire! Sharin dis shit to all ma homies. Keep up the work bruh...
iamlocksmith where u from..Nordafrika?
iamlocksmith I am astonished, your skill just keeps climbing. I've been a fan since the green box and it never ceases to amaze me whenever you're on the Mic. I show your music to everyone I can because I don't think anyone could tell a more touching story than you! Big fan, seriously impressed!!
iamlocksmith when is there a date for nyc not only will i come but ill promote and bring my wife real reconize real
iamlocksmith hey bruh..when are you going to be in the Boston area?
He is such an inspiration!
The vein on his neck make him look like hes angry af
i would be angry i i was so underrated like him, the new mic wouldn't even fit in the stand after this one
😂
If you really listen to his message you would get it
@@angelopressley7689 thank you angelo. Man is angry he dont care about clout Hugo. He using sway45 as a platform he dont care if he has 1 fan or a million.
Passion fam
"Try to empower your own art.
They flooded me with offers,
I started building my own ark" 🔥🔥🔥🔥 bruh 😒😒 Fuck levels, this dude is on another planet
iamlocksmith: I am loving the knowledge of those of us that are starting ro wake up, being woven through out not only this freestyle (which is atill leaving me in disbelief after just finishing watching it for the 3rd time. lol) but your recent album as well. Please dont stop man,, extremely happy to see an artist with integrity. You very easily could continue your spiritual path privately like so many of us right now, but for someone with your gifts to show everyone listening to your music whats truly the realest of the real in this life is very much appreciated. That has to be the most underrated, and probably unnoticed by many, the biggest show of love to your fans I've seen from an artist. Much love to yourself and everyone close to you.
Lock just blessed my cerebral with mad knowledge
If anyone is starting a revolution through hip hop it's this guy. Nobody above him in the game right now with his knowledge and flow.
In the top 5 lyricalist of all time ❤
this shits honestly fucking amazing
Beyond anything else
Holy fuck lock. fuck hooks bro, write books bro...
JedTheJedi W
Lock Ness MONSTER!!!!!!!!
2017 Rappers glad Locksmith is underground
Locksmith is a beast, always coming with great content!!
LITERALLY TEARS IN MY EARS ! WHOOP - WHOOP .
one of the best artists out here today. A shame that what he speaks about will never be mainstream. I've been a fan ever since i watched him battle on grindtime. about to go get that Olive Branch right now. btw Kay Slay sounded old and tired. The chick next to him was feeling it though.
Locksmith....I'm so sorry for being ignorant to your existence.
SpritemaniacJ slap yourself and move on , its really all you can do
Always bringing that fire! Lock and K Rino need to do an album together.
Oh man! That right there would be amazing!
Josh Foster most definitely!
Josh Foster 2of the best ever. Locksmith and K-Rino.
Man that would be Epic! K-Rino Catalog untouchable but Lock definitely my top 5 favorite artists at the moment.
add akala to make a trio and it's a rap takeover
Rip Dj Kay Slay he kept the door open for real hip hop and true artist that deserved to be heard and underground artist to have a shot to be heard!
Conscious rap dude, shit the world needs to hear. You got my respect (not that it matters), but you just jumped up to like my top 10 favorite rappers and this is the first Ive heard. The message, the blunt, honest way of carrying that message, and the fact you spit facts has me hooked. Ill be checking ouy olive branch. Much love bro
on fire lock,never disappoints #respect
I need a damn second brain for anything he does, one to listen one to catch all the shit that goes over my head.
"You use to cuff your jeans now you're Banana Republic/Now they laugh at you throwing bananas in public"..Damn
darthdubblez I had to go back on this verse at least 5 times.
Bruce Washington same, yo!! 🔥🔥💀💀
I don’t get the reference. Can someone please explain..?
Dauntless Shepherd real gangstas cuff they shit. Pants be pressed with creases, now these studio gangstas wear wrinkled up white boi shit and they getting ridiculed by the very people that used to fear them. Deep ass verse fo real.
Long Live Legendary Locksmith
RESURRECTING THE WAKE UP SHOW! Thanks locksmith. God bless Hip Hop
yooooo. This dude is the truth. Every single bar he spit was real. A yo, ma nigga murdered the same beat idk how many times. While the DJ was trying to revive the beat he just kept murdering it lmao. And then he said "throw another beat".lmao, and fukin murdered that shit too. yo respect from the Bronx Locksmith. You got a new fan.
this freestyle is best ive ever seen. So underrated, this freeestyle deserves over millions of views!
This shit should have millions of views...
Smh..
He just raised the bar once again.. to where very few can reach...
He murdered that shit......
That Banana verse was Bananas!!🔥🔥🔥
He doesn't spit fire, he spit Brimstone and Lava🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
Glad to be a fan. Lot of gems dropped in this. That last line hit me "you tell a nigga your dreams he tell you some bad news. I guess thats why I keep em to myself & I'll never show the cards that I'm delt." My life right now; maybe I can make a song with lock on day. This nigga probably top 10 all time lyrically.
you are simply the greatest i have seen heard and felt, much love from Australlia!
It's like it was written in history for Locksmith to make this much sense on the mic. He unexplainable talented from his word play to the messages in his rhymes. He's nothing short of extraordinary.
MY BOY! Always killing it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
good shit man lock always bring bars
Much respect to Lock man. Always bringing the bars, keeping the culture alive. Why this kind of work doesn't get more attention, I'll never know.
Have never been more excited to watch a video for the first time.
I could tell by the picture in the thumbnail that lock was gonna go in lol :D
Anyone reading this is a real one. keep goin
Nice idea to get likes
nice idea to get dislikes
Drew Sorensen not a single dislike hahah
Brian Fox I disliked it so...
ssalistuff there goes your dislike even though I like the idea..lol
I know it's only dropped a week ago but it should be at a couple million views imo🔥💯
I've only just discovered Locksmith this week. I'm amazed
locksmith is why i take the time to find underground artists and ignore the featured new releases.
Never clicked a notification so fast 💨
Lyrical he's the goat no question 🔥🔥💯
DOOM>Locksmith
GRIMM > DOOM
Admb96 LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
nyle Rodriguez VI Seconds could give him a run for his money.
nyle Rodriguez Wrong, he has no punchlines or worplday. The dude can't even internally rhyme well. I was never super impressed
Best rapper I have ever listened to, the content is unreal the knowledge is prophet like, there is none that comes close. He's taking a massive loss even just being how he is. How easy it is to conform to what they want you to be.
If you like Locksmith, go give Akala and Lowkey a listen!
This brotha is saying so much truth I had to watch this like 10 times and keep hearing something new. Unreal talent!
you know lock is spittiin that fire when his neck veins start popping out
Southern rap can be traced back to West African syntax. Wow.
this was needed thanks ... Jah bless
just holy cow man. This is amazing
Best rapper in the underground
Locksmith got this s*** locked down...
Locksmith your freetyles are 🔥🔥🔥
I been following him since day one . Will allways keep up with his talent
ka ka ka killed it brother holy shit! Big ups from new Zealand
Unbelievable.
SHM Locksmith is not one of the top rapper in the world today. he is just at another level lyrically
what?
Samir what you say fool !!!!! smh
Who the fuck is that guy :)
Samir it goes over ppl heads, notice the young and dumb like these "mumble" rappin mutha fuckas
that boy Spitting Fire no matter who he is
Damn bro, give me chills!! this is dope!!!
Beyond amazing! Brilliant.
Gawd dayuuuuumm....
she came so many times lol.
LOL!!!!!
Dope shit as always
WOW. We need more of this.
Call da fire department!! That man burnt that shit down!!
lock you're the best lyricist alive hands down
King los
I'm sorry but as much as i love Em, King Los, Locksmith, Murda mook, Daylyt...etc but the best lyricist of all time IS Lupe Fiasco the only one i can think of that might compare to him is Black Thought.
Kaan
@@algerianjonsnow4911 Aseop Rock at lupes lvl
Fireee always great substance
This is exactly what i needed. Im a new fool on lock. I'll be wherever he goes.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
this guy progress for better. #oliveranch people
wow man you are next level, much love , keep it up , please stay humble and true .
I'm so happy to hear real Mc's like him keep real hip hop alive. #Locksmith 2020
Who in their right mind pushed a thumbs down ? Stop using the drugs !
Dre Hardin, using drugs or using hate....... it's one of'em.
The only thing bad I can say is he goes wild off beat a few times, but his rhymes are so deep when he does it that it's hard to really criticize.
The only time he goes off the beat is when the DJ thinks hes done and cuts out the beat. Then he finds it almost immediately when it comes back in lol
The ones that can't understand bcuz too much skkrr 😅
Can somebody write down the lyrics here?
Locksmith is one of the Bay Area artists with sick lyrics. He standouts from the rest Bay Area rappers. Very underrated. 👍🏽
YOOOOOO I am so ashamed I been sleeping on hip-hop.
KaySlay put out that Back to the Bars track, thats why I am here. I am late but whatever, grateful to be able to hear killer music with substance.
Thanks to KaySlay to creating a platform for these cats and Thanks to Locksmith for putting in the work.. you're the fucking truth man.
Respect and love.
christ turn up the volume on those beats.
Richmond California!
When I met you at Sway Day a couple years ago, I told you I think you're one of the best to ever do it. I definitely still stand by that statement. You have have bars forever bruh, your rhyme schemes and punchlines always leave me speechless. Good shit as always
happy to see your touring through Athens, ga! Cant wait to see this man live! Every time I hear you Rap, it is mind blowing, more depth in one bar then in whole songs
😭😭😭 mainstream rapper's face after listening dis freestyle... the ain't coming close
Anthony Lewis brah legend says locksmith snatched two chains last chain and melted it down into a mic and murdered mainstream
YOOO THEY DIDN"T HAVE ENOUGH BEAT FOR HIM
Only 200k views !? I have no faith in humanity my word is bond.
u so dope homi, keep killin it
if you look closely, his neck veins keep growing and growing
Lock would eat any mainstream rapper alive Kendrick included
Seventh Sign Soldier And that's saying something because Kendrick is fucking dope 👌
lol take it easy now.
Gomotso Mphatswe yea locksmith might be a better lyricist but kendrick is leagues above him when it comes to actual rapping
Steele Eldridge what do you mean? not everyone's definition of "actual rapping" is the same I guess.
¿Lyrically? Maybe, but not in terms of a complete package, which Kendrick has (Flow, delivery, wordplay, and more importantly, ALBUMS)
Wow that was excellent especially the freestyle over the quiet storm beat.
This needs much more than 500k views. Amazing
lock cyhi and chino xl need to link up #barz
i think lock was on teambackpack with cyhi
Preacher Jenkins he was. cyhi my favorite, him and b.o.b
yeah he was, it was nice seeing cyhi and lock cypher together because usually they both over shadow their peers but together their lyrical styles compliment each other
Chino XL? LOL that nigga doing Soap Operas now ... chill
crawl out from under that rock dude still has the poison pen
Who else was watching the lady and the dudes neck the whole time..
FIRE... so refreshing
This is one of the best freestyles ever!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌
